Factual error: Julia Child's address on the envelope that she received from publishing company Alfred A Knopf contains a zip code. The envelope contains a letter informing Julia that Knopf wanted to publish her cookbook. That first cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, was first published in 1961. The US Post Office didn't initiate zip codes until 1963.
Factual error: The story starts out in September 2002 and ends in 2003. Julie receives a call about Julia Child's 90th birthday in 2003. She would have been 91, born 15 Aug 1912.
Factual error: Julia's part of the story is set in 2002/2003, but in her workplace, the computers shown came out in 2006.
Chosen answer: It's entirely possible that she got a PO Box, which would allow her to receive goodies and keep her address private at the same time.
